When you've finished a whole ep. (Working out everything) You should make a site for the VS of Firefly.
Something's going down tonight! Something with the man!
Two by two. Hand of blue.

Good points all around I will try to stretch the material so far in two or perhaps three acts. In a perfect story it wound be the full five with all realizing the ship is gone to end objects in motion and start objects in rest. I dont think I can do that though with your help it is possible.
Also Young Lu is in their for a real purpose. How many of you pay much attention to the young street kid trying to sell you something. Not many but guess what he knows every that is going on in and around the docks.
Byes

LA or LegalBegal or whomever is connecting these write a "from." I like the idea of ending "Objects in Motion" (season 2, ep 1, right? This is starting to get confusing) with everybody discovering that Serenity is gone. This could be part of the teaser for "Objects at Rest" (or vice versa if I've completely screwed things up).
Or I don't know. I'm confused.
Anyway
Cut to:
Ext. Isis Docks
BOOK, JANYE, and RIVER are standing where Serenity's loading dock should be.
JAYNE: Where'd the gorram ship go?
BOOK: Got a comm on you?
JAYNE: No, I don't got a comm on me? We was lifting. Why'd I need a comm for that?
BOOK: I didn't see the ship take off before we saw the shuttle.
JAYNE: Course you didn't. We wasn't look but after her.
Cut to RIVER, standing still, her head down. Her hair obscures most of her face.
JANYE: You know what's goin' on, girl? If you got an idea, you should tell us.
RIVER: Simon is working now. Gravity well. Three is the number of the divine. Three plus one is four, the number of man. Man plus God equals lucky number seven.
Cut to JAYNE looking confused and BOOK looking tired.
Cut to RIVER playing with her fingers, couting over and over.
Cut to BOOK, looking from RIVER to JAYNE to the sky and back.
BOOK: I say we head the direction the shuttle went down. Somebody's bound to be on it.
JAYNE: Wait just a second. What if Serenity comes back? What then?
RIVER: Serenity comes after clarity but before enlightenment.
JAYNE: Preacher?
BOOK: You stay here with her then, and I'll go. I'll come back to get you if I need you.
BOOK turns and begins to jog off toward where he thinks the shuttle headed.
Cut to RIVER squatting down and drawing in the dirt.
Cut to JAYNE, squinting. Fade out.
Too random? Bad to further split them up? Just didn't want these three to get left out of any continuing action. Let me know.

So keep Lu in, but don't bring him on the ship.

The difference betwwen sports fans and sci-fi fans is that sci-fi fans have never trashed a train, booed Canada, or torn a man apart limb from limb.

I think the idea of Serenity being gone is not a good one. Did I miss that in the above? I probably did, but I can't believe that I did. The shi is the one thing holding the crew together and I feel it's Mal's life....not just a ship. What's Han Solo without the Milenium Falcon? Mal is less without Serenity.

If you all finish an episode (teaser and four/five acts), I'll post the whole thing as a feature on this website. That's if it's okay with you all.

That sounds like a much better plan because it seems that we're all trying to get ideas in but they are starting to get stacked one on top of the other and the whole thing is losing coherency.
How about this as a breakdown, 'cause from what I'm reading, these are the main plots that seem to have been developed:
A) Crew gets a new, reliable, consistant, "good guy" contact for jobs (I think we all sort of like Hui)
B) Jubal Early makes a reappearance and it is discovered that he's not as evil as everyone thinks (I love the idea that he'd been hired by Simon and River's father via Alliance directive).
C) Some sort of story with Wash and Zoe in the forefront. Doesn't need to be all "high adventure", but somethin'.
D) A story providing the tiniest bit of further insight into the world of Companions featuring Inara (obviously) as the focus.
E) Something happens leaving the crew without access to Serenity, either in that it gets stolen or is impounded or something.
F) The addition of a temporary crew member or recurring character like the Lu kid or someone similar. Not sure where the bit with Lu was headed, so I could suggest where to take him.
G) The return of the Reavers.
I think that about covers all of the various plots that have been discussed. I actually have one in mind to address why there are no robots or artificial intelligence around in the Verse since that is a highly researched and funded endeavor presently. So I'll take that and you good folks take the rest and let's see if we can keep this bird flyin'...

Episode Four: Testimony
This is what im working on The crew pick up passengers who are on a pilgramigage. Reveres are in this one.
Episode Five: Flashback

LB, you MUST be a lawyer...(lol)
Look, none of those appart from LBs Pilgrims vs. Reavers idea and "Flashback" sound really Firely-esque to me, and I prefer "OIM" and "OAR" to be more about "the crew experiences chaos" and "the crew experiences calm" respectively as I originally put forth.
But hey, you folks all roll withyours and I'll take the robot idea I'm playing around with and we'll see what goes where.
One favor: I'd like to do the story introducing Hui. I came up with a less "Big Lebowski" concept that I'd like to establish before I hand him over to the cosmos. Is that cool?

Ok that works why dont you take the first two episodes, incorporate you story and some of the stuff thats been passed around here. Some one else is on the kaylee ep and on flash back. With me doing Testimony that will give us the first set of episodes for the season.
